Kneeling Leg Curl (SPLKLC)
- Muscles Used:
- Hamstrings & Gastrocnemius
- Setup:
- Load the unit with desired amount of weight to ensure appropriate resistance and
secure plates with retaining pin. Rotate knee pad to desired side and place
non-exercising knee on pad. Position opposite leg with upper thigh against pad and
knee
aligned with machine pivot (axis of rotation). Tibia pad should contact the back of
the
lower leg, above the ankle. Rest forearms on elbow pad and grip the handles.
Notice: Do not use plates larger than 25 lbs (10 kgs)
- Movement:
- With a controlled motion extend the legs to nearly full extension without locking
out
knees. Return the legs to the start position and repeat the motion while maintaining
proper body positioning.
Tip: Positioning feet higher on the foot plate will increase glute and hamstring focus.
